چکیده

The third-generation universal mobile telecommunications system (UMTS) uses direct-sequence code division multiple access (DS-CDMA) to transmit data. DS-CDMA is well suited to transmit data over the multipath fading channel. The high signal bandwidth for the WCDMA system (5 MHz) allows the received signal to be split into distinct multipaths with high resolution. For the first generation of UMTS handsets, a rake receiver is the receiver of choice because it allocates one rake finger to each multipath, thus maximizing the amount of received signal energy. The rake receiver combines these different paths into a composite signal with substantially better characteristics for demodulation than a single path. To combine the different paths meaningfully, the rake receiver needs such channel parameters as the number of paths, their location (in the delay domain), and their (complex-valued) attenuation. In a WCDMA system, the necessary channel parameters must be estimated and tracked throughout the transmission.

Channel estimation for a discrete-time RAKE receiver in a WCDMA downlink: algorithms and repercussions on SINR

The conventional receiver for DS-CDMA communications is the RAKE receiver which is a matched filter (MF), matched to the operations of spreading, pulse shape filtering and channel filtering. The RAKE receiver assumes a sparse/pathwise channel model so that the channel matched filtering gets done pathwise, with delay adjustment and decorrelation per path and maximum-ratio combining of path contr...
